[cgiapp] can AUTOLOAD sub be named AUTOLOAD?

[Silent]

ples try:

sub setup{
    my $self = shift;
....
....

    $self->run_modes(
...
        'AUTOLOAD' => \&err, # handle unknown run_mode
        );
}

sub err {
  my ($self, $requested_mode) = @_;
  print STDERR "running AUTOLOAD\n";
  return "invalid mode $requested_mode\n";
}
